My 15 years old daughter is going to out smart me.

My daughter now is 15 years old, she told me the reason why the host of American Idol announced the best singer first who used to be the last performer in contest; which is for the reason will allowing the rest competents and the audience to immerse in the anguish of guessing and expecting. I am surprised she can think so deep while we all are still watching the continuing show and the music is aloud in the room, and she can think about with this aspect of meaning while continuing watching with the noisy background.

I remembered my daughter was deeply amazed with the character of Black actor Mr. Morgan Freeman in the movie of "Shushing Redemption", and some other of his movies when she was a 4 or 5 grader. From fifth grade till now she is keeping searching on wise old man, or whoever is wise enough to get her attention in our lives or any story or movie she has chance to watch. At that time, I even worry she is fell into a wrong perception about the job description of an actor would need to perform in a movie or show, for their job is acting and performing; I then therefore try to tell her more about actor and entertaining fields to help her understand she can not completely believe what she see or watch and make a conclusion about a person's value. Even though, we do agree an actor or anyone in entertainment business need to posses the ability to choose what kind of role they want to play in order to reflect their own personal value.

While I am searching the value and how this western country run their business in western culture, I do see my daughter and friends around her performing the quality of a child growing up in this country, which of course including all of sneaky people skills and gossip as well that they learned from adults around them.

I am also watching them draw lines between certain issues, I am happy to see they learn all of this necessary skills that sometime I don't even able to do myself; and I of course will shout to them if they forgot certain line drawing issue.

As my daughter is a teenager now, the only thing she could not be overcomes with her age's intelligence, which under my observation, is American style of day time romantic soapy drama and I think that need my long time watch closely and give certain inputs to adjust the way of her thinking about those artificial romance on media.

Today she is browsing online try to find IQ test website and saying her friends IQ is 145 after took the online test, her worrisome burden her in searching that website while I asked her how she think her IQ should be, and she claim she must need to have 250 in comparing all of her smart friends. Social measurement of IQ among peers, I then told her surely I will grant her 250 IQ, so she could rest and starting on her home works.
